What does a service-business workflow look like?

A typical workflow is inquiry → customer record → scope and cost estimate → proposal or authorization → job notes and changes → invoice and payment record → job-cost review and follow-up. Each purchased SGL product supports the specific steps described in its current listing; no single tool should be assumed to perform every step.

How should operators estimate a job?

Begin with an accurate scope. Estimate labor as hours multiplied by the business's loaded hourly labor cost. Add materials, travel, disposal, subcontractors and allocated overhead to calculate total cost. If the desired gross margin is 30%, divide the relevant job cost by 0.70 to calculate a target price before taxes and any separate pass-through amounts. This is different from adding a 30% markup, which would multiply cost by 1.30. Example: $700 cost ÷ 0.70 = $1,000 selling price and $300 gross profit, or 30% of the selling price. Confirm actual job conditions and costs before quoting.
